The Launch Pad was the perfect house for trip to explore the St. Johns River. The location of the house was perfect, serving as a good middle ground to explore both to the north and south. We traveled with 4 people and a dog, along with two 22' ft boats, 2 trucks, and 2 trailers. There was plenty of room for all! We did launch using the ramp, which was great, but did choose to retrieve using the local boat ramp as our boats are a very deep v, meant more for coastal boating. I wouldn't let that deter anyone, as this was just a precaution for us as there is no real tide on the river and we needed deep water. Not to mention, the boat ramp is basically across the street and not out of the way at all. It was so nice to be able to keep the boats at the house during the week and not have to worry about launching and retrieveing each day. The home was exceptionally clean and well appointed with everything we needed, including an air fryer, crockpot, toaster oven, etc. The screen porch was lovely to sit in during the evening hours. The neighbors were friendly, even offering us tips on places to see and helping to work on our trailer and offered tools when we had an issue. The host, Elizabeth was excellent in her communication with me from start to finish. We have stayed in a lot of VRBO's and this one has been by far one of the best! If you are looking to explore, this spot is definitely for you. We enjoyed ourselves, great memories were made, and we hope to visit again soon.
